Description

  The present invention relates to a packaging device intended to contain a cosmetic product, comprising a product reservoir, for example a pot or small bottle, and a member for closing the reservoir. In particular, the invention relates to such a packaging device provided with a sealing member.

  In many devices for packaging cosmetics, the closure member is screwed into the product reservoir. In this way, the device is very easy to seal the closure.

  Sealing becomes more difficult when it is desirable to close the packaging device by means of closures other than screwing, in particular by catches, by snap-fastening, by clamp-type or bayonet-type closures . It is known to use seals that are compressed in a closed position to provide sealing.

  WO 99/20144 describes, for example, a casing comprising a base and a cover hinged to the base, the casing base being provided with a seal. While the cover is closed, the seal is compressed with a lip provided on the cover that is pressed onto the seal.

  GB 114,962 also describes a casing in which a seal is provided in this case on the cover. While the cover is closed, the seal is compressed against the free edge of the base.

  However, systems based on compressed seals require the user to apply a relatively large force while closing the device.

International Publication No.99 / 20144 British Patent No. 114,962

  There is a need to further improve the closure sealing of devices for packaging cosmetics.

In particular, the present invention
A container containing the product and having an opening;
A member for closing the container, which is intended to reversibly close the container and is movable between an open position and a closed position of the container;
A sealing member fixed to the closure member, provided with an elastically deformable part and having a contour that can contact the periphery of a part of the container;
The axial height of the space for accommodating the sealing member is reduced between the open position and the closed position of the container, and the sealing member that expands in the radial direction to lean against the periphery of the container is compressed in the axial direction. Products, in particular cosmetics, with holding elements mounted on the inside of the closure member so as to be movable along the axis X, lean against a part of the container along the axis X before the closure member is in its closed position It is an object to satisfy this need by providing a device for packaging.

  Between the closed and open positions of the container, the axial height of the space can vary by a distance between 0.5 mm and 5 mm, in particular between 1.5 mm and 3.5 mm.

  An elastically deformable element, in particular a spring, can be arranged between the holding element and the closure member.

  The sealing member may comprise a seal made of a material selected from elastomeric rubber and thermoplastic. Materials include, for example, blends of polypropylene and SBS, SEBS or EPDM, such as silicone, nitrile, natural or synthetic rubber products, EPDM, polyurethane, natural, synthetic or thermoplastic elastomers, especially polypropylene and SEBS copolymers, styrene Butadiene or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, ultra low density polyethylene, nitrile rubber, polychloroprene or neoprene, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM), butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer, polyurethane, plasticized polyvinyl chloride, It may be selected from among crosslinked rubbers, particularly silicone-based crosslinked rubbers.

  The seal may be annular, and the seal may have a hollow cross section having a shape selected from U, circle, oval, C, X, square, trapezoid.

  The container may comprise a removable supplement containing the product.

  The container or supplement may comprise a shouldered side wall that defines a support edge for the retaining element. Thus, the seal can be pressed around the shoulder or side wall of the refill on the shoulder.

  Alternatively, the upper edge of the container may define a support edge for the holding element.

  The container may include a wiping member, and the seal may lean radially against the periphery of the wiping member in the closed position.

  The closing member may be fixed to the wand carrying the applicator, in particular the brush, and the holding element is fixed to the wand. The seal may be tubular and may be mounted around the wand. The tubular seal may comprise a dome between its two ends, the dome being able to expand radially to lean against the periphery of the wiping member.

  The sealing member according to the present invention is particularly useful for a packaging device in which the closing member is fixed to the container in a reversible manner by a snap fastening, clamping, bayonet system, or a fastening portion other than a method by screwing. Of course, sealing members can also be used in packaging devices where the closure member is secured to the container by screwing.

  1 to 3 show a packaging device in the form of a pot 1. The pot comprises a container 10 having an opening of the axis Y and a cover 20 provided with a sealing member 40 for the purpose of reversibly closing the pot. In the illustrated example, the container and the cover have a circular cross section. As an alternative, the container and the cover may have a non-circular cross section, in particular a polygonal or oval cross section.

  With particular reference to FIGS. 2 and 3, it can be seen that the container 10 has an outer shell 11 and a removable replenishment 14 that defines a housing 19 containing the product P. The outer shell 11 includes a bottom 12 and a side wall 13. The removable replenishment 14 is held in the outer shell by any suitable means, for example by being clamped or snapped to the side wall 13 of the outer shell.

  The removable refill 14 also includes a bottom 15 and a sidewall 16 that defines an opening at its upper end 16a that corresponds to the opening of the container in the illustrated example. As will be seen below, the side wall 16 is provided with a shoulder 17 in the vicinity of its upper end 16a that forms a support edge 18 against which a holding element 30 mounted in the cover can rest. It is also possible to provide a sealing disk that closes the opening of the replenishment, and the support edge 18 therefore comprises a recess so that the sealing disk does not lift the support edge.

  According to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the cover 20 is hinged to the container by a hinge 21 about a geometric axis of rotation perpendicular to the plane of FIG. The cover 20 comprises an upper wall 22 and an outer peripheral skirt 23 provided at the opposite end of the hinge 21 with a clasp 24 comprising eg a tongue, which can be received at the lower part of the corresponding relief of the container 10.

  The support 25 is mounted in a fixed manner inside the cover in order to hold the sealing member 40. The support 25 comprises in particular an outer ring 26 fixed to the inner surface of the outer peripheral skirt of the cover. Ring 26 may be secured by adhesive bonding, clamping, or any other securing means. Ring 26 extends axially to the lower edge of the outer peripheral skirt 23 of the cover. The ring 26 is extended radially at its lower end by a portion 27 that extends to an inner ring 28 that extends parallel to the outer ring 26. The transverse part 27 comprises a fixing skirt 29 for the sealing member on its surface bent towards the interior of the container.

  The sealing member 40 is a support inside the cover in order to close the casing 19 containing the product P in a sealing manner and to ensure airtightness and / or sealing against volatile compounds contained in the product P. Held by 25.

  The sealing member 40 includes an annular deformable seal so that its outer contour rests on the annular periphery of the inner surface of the refill 14. According to the example shown, the seal has a hollow cross section. The seal comprises a fixed skirt 41 fitted into the support skirt 29, which is extended by a deformable part 42 having a circular cross section according to the present example shown. The seal is made from, for example, SEBS or EPDM.

  The seal 40 extends below the lower edge of the cover side wall 23 and has a profile approximately the same as the diameter of the inner wall of the refill 14 between the shoulder 17 and the upper edge 16a of the side wall.

  The holding element 30 is mounted inside the cover so that it can move along the axis X relative to the cover. The holding element 30 comprises a plate 31 held on a support 25 by a skirt 32 extending axially over the plate. The skirt 32 is arranged so that it can slide along the axis X along the inner ring 28 of the support 25. The skirt 32 includes a flange 33 at its upper end that extends radially outward so as to abut the upper edge of the inner ring 28 of the support 25. Accordingly, the flange 33 limits the lowering of the holding element 30. The periphery of the skirt 32 overlaps the plate 31 radially outward so that the plate 31 is under the seal 42.

  A space 50 having an axial height h is defined between the support 25 and the plate 31 for receiving the seal 42. In the open position of the cover, the space is sufficiently large in the axial direction to receive the seal without compressing the seal. However, even if the seal is slightly compressed in the open position of the cover, this does not depart from the scope of the present invention.

  Advantageously, the elastic return member is arranged between the holding element 30 and the cover 20. More specifically, the compression spring 60 is fixed to the plate 31 and the inner surface of the upper wall 22 of the cover and pushes these two components away from each other.

  Rather than being held in a fixed skirt of the support, the sealing member 40 can alternatively be held by being clamped around the skirt 32 carrying the plate 31 of the holding element. As shown in FIG. 5, in the pot closed position, the inner ring 28 compresses a seal 40 held by a plate 31 that abuts the edge 18 of the replenishment in the container. In this variant, the seal comprises only one elastically deformable part with a circular cross section.

  Alternatively, the seal may have a different shape than that just shown. The seal may in particular have a cross section that is in the form of U, C, cross, oval, square, trapezoid, etc. as shown in FIGS. 4a-4n. The seal is not hollow and may be solid as shown in FIGS. 4c, 4d, 4k and 4l.

  As a further variant, it is also possible for the pot not to have a detachable supplement. Thus, the container directly defines a housing containing the product. According to this variant, not shown, the side wall 13 of the container is provided with a recess that forms a support edge for the plate 31. The support 25 for the seal is not a separate component but may alternatively be made integral with the cover.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the pot 1 is open, the retaining element 30 of the sealing member is in a position furthest from the cover. In particular, the spring 60 pushes the plate back to separate the plate from the top wall of the cover. However, the plate is held on the cover by the flange 33 of the skirt 32 that axially strikes the upper edge of the inner ring 28 of the support 25. In this position, the space 50 in which the seal 40 is accommodated is maximized and has an axial height h1.

  As shown in FIG. 3, when the cover 20 is closed, the plate abuts against the support edge 18 of the replenishment, and at the same time the seal 40 is moved axially by the support 25 and fixed to the support 25. Retained in the expression. The spring 60 is compressed so that the plate 31 is moved towards the upper wall 22 of the cover. Since the plate abuts against the support edge 36 before the closing member is in its closed position, the space 50 for housing the seal is reduced in the axial direction. The axial height h2 of the space 50 in the closed position is smaller than the height h1 of the space 50 in the open position, and the axial height changes, for example, by a distance between 1.5 mm and 3.5 mm. Therefore, the seal 40 is compressed in the axial direction between the plate 31 and the support body 25. Depending on its shape and material, the seal extends perpendicular to the axis X and strikes the refill side wall 16 radially between the refill side wall shoulder 17 and the upper edge 16a.

  Thus, the housing 19 is closed in a sealed state by the plate 31 abutting against the support edge 18 of the replenishment and by the seal 40, so that this closure between the plate and the side wall of the replenishment is sealed. Is secured.

  6 and 7 show a second example of a device for packaging cosmetics according to the invention in the form of a small mascara bottle.

  The device 100 comprises a container 110 with an opening of axis X, which has an elongate form, for example along the same axis X. The device 100 also includes a wiping member 115 fixed so as not to be removed from the container 110, at the same time as the applicator 130 provided with a brush 131 fixed to the end of the wand 132 of the axis X. The wand 132 is connected at its upper end to a gripping member that similarly forms the closing cap 120 of the container 110, and the closing cap 120 aims to reversibly close the container.

  According to this second example, the container and the closure cap have a circular cross section. As an alternative, they may not have a circular cross section, but in particular a polygonal or oval cross section.

  The container 110 includes a body 111 containing a product, and in the present example, the upper part of the body is provided with a neck 112. The upper end 114 of the neck defines an opening into which the wiping member 115 is inserted. At the top, the wiping member 115 includes a flange 116 that abuts the top 114 of the neck 112. In the lower part, the wiping member 115 comprises an annular wiping grip 117 defining an orifice with a circular cross section, which lip 117 presses the wand 132 and / or brush 131 when the applicator 130 is withdrawn from the container. To be arranged.

  According to the illustrated example, the closing cap 120 is reversibly fixed to the container 110 by snap fastening. Alternatively, it is possible to provide a closure cap that is secured by clamping or any other type of fixation. The container is opened in response to actuation of the actuating member 150.

  To secure the cap to the container, the container neck 112 has a catching bulge comprising a lower surface 113a extending laterally in the plane toward the axis X and an upper surface extending in a gradually descending inclined plane. 113) is provided on the outside. The catch protrusion 113 engages with a catch lug 124 provided inside the closure cap.

  In particular, the closure cap 120 includes an outer shell 121 formed by cylindrical walls that open at both ends thereof. The outer shell may be metallic, for example. The insert 122 shown separately in FIG. 9 is provided inside the shell 121 to which it is fixed. The insert 122 comprises a cylindrical wall 123 that extends axially from the upper end of the shell to its lower end and has a catching projection 124 at its lower part. In the illustrated example, three catching protrusions 124 are provided and are spaced apart from each other in the radial direction. Each protrusion 124 has a radial catching ridge 125 that faces toward the inside of the cap and is intended to be secured under the neck protrusion 113 so that the closure cap Hold on top of container. A radial gap 126 is provided between the protrusion and the outer shell 121 to allow the protrusion 124 to be displaced while the closure cap is open and closed.

  On top of the capture ridge 125, spaced apart therefrom, each projection has two projections 127 extending radially inward, each projection in the radial direction as well as an upper surface extending to the apex. And a lower surface that forms a triangle by extending an inclined surface that descends from the apex. As will be seen in detail below, the protrusion 127 is associated with opening and closing the closure cap.

  As can be seen in FIG. 9, the tubular support 128 concentric with the cylindrical wall 123 of the insert 122 is connected to the cylindrical wall 123 by three axial uprights 129 that are angularly spaced from one another. . The axial upright portion 129 extends radially in the direction of the axis X between the cylindrical wall 123 and the tubular support 128. Tubular support 128 includes an annular bead 128a that projects radially toward axis X to hold sealing member 140. According to the illustrated example, the tubular support 128 is created by integrating the cylindrical wall 123 and the upright portion 129.

  In order to actuate the opening of the cap, an actuating member 150 in the form of a push button shown separately in FIG. 10 is provided in the cap. In particular, the push button 150 is mounted so that it can slide inside the cylindrical wall 123 of the insert. The push button comprises a cylindrical side wall 151 that is connected to a side wall 152 that is perpendicular to the axis X at its top. Three angularly spaced axial slots 154 extend into the push button sidewall 151, and an axial upright 129 of the insert 122 extends through the axial slot 154. The side wall 152 of the push button serves as an operating surface. The three protrusions 153 are provided on the outer surface of the side wall 151 and are angularly separated from each other. Each protrusion 153 is accommodated in one of three windows 123a provided in the cylindrical wall 123 of the insert, and the windows 123a are angularly separated from each other. The protrusion 153 is housed in the window so as to limit the displacement of the push button 150 while having a sufficient gap so that the push button 150 can move with respect to the cap 120. The lower end 151a of the push button side wall is designed to move above the upper surface of the protrusion 127 at the bottom position.

  The wand 131 is held in the closure cap by a wand holder 170, shown in isolation in FIG. 11, having a circular cross-section and having a tubular skirt 171 with its lower end open and fitted with the upper end of the wand 132. In order to improve the capture of the wand in the support, an annular bead 132a is provided on the wand for receiving in an annular groove 172 provided in the inner surface of the skirt. The tubular skirt 171 carrying the wand is closed by the lateral wall 173 in the upper portion thereof, and the tubular portion 174 rises from the lateral wall in a direction facing the skirt 171.

  An elastic return member 160 is disposed between the push button 150 and the wand holder. More specifically, the compression spring is fixed to the lateral wall 152 and the lateral wall 173 of the push button 150 so as to surround the tubular portion 174 and push the two components apart from each other.

  The lateral wall 173 of the wand holder 170 is surrounded on its periphery by a holding element in the form of a tubular sleeve 175 extending axially on either side of the lateral wall 173, which is coaxial with the tubular skirt 171. Three angularly spaced axial slots 177 extend through the tubular sleeve 175 and the axial uprights 129 of the insert 122 extend through the axial slots 177. The lower end 175a of the tubular sleeve 175 extends axially beyond the tubular skirt 171. As will be seen later in the description, the tubular sleeve 175 is arranged so that the lower end 175a can abut against the flange of the container, in particular the wiping member.

  In order to ensure that the closure of the small mascara bottle is sealed, a sealing member 140 comprising an elastically deformable seal 142 is provided. According to this embodiment, the seal 142 is tubular. The seal is mounted around the wand 132 so that it can slide at least partially up. In particular, the lower end 142a of the seal is housed in a groove 133 formed in the widened portion 134 of the wand. The tubular seal 142 has a dome portion 143 that is configured to be deformable by projecting more between the two ends of the seal when the two ends of the seal are closer to each other, or projecting smaller when the two ends are closer. Is provided. The seal is held at its upper end 142b by the annular bead 128a of the tubular support 128. The seal is housed in a space 180 having an axial height h defined between the annular bead 128a of the support 128 and the groove 133 in the wand.

  In the closed position of the small mascara bottle shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, the catch projection 124 of the closure cap engages the catch projection 113 on the neck, and the radial catch ridge 125 is stored under the catch projection 113, In particular, it is held by the protruding surface 113a.

  To open the small bottle, the user presses the push button 150 by pressing on the working surface 152. The lower end 151a of the side wall of the push button disposed on the radial protrusion 127 abuts on the upper surface of the protrusion. Thus, the protrusion 124 is spaced outward until the capture ridge 125 of the protrusion 113 is released and the closure cap is released. The cap can then be removed from the container. Since the sleeve 175 contacts the container, the sleeve 175 is not pressed when the push button is pressed. When the user releases the push button, the push button 150 is returned to its initial position relative to the sleeve 175 by the elastic return of the spring 160 that separates the two components.

  To reclose the small bottle, the user repositions the closure cap on the neck. There again, the capture protrusion 124 is radially spaced from the neck when the lower surface of the capture ridge 125 slides on the upper surface 113b of the protrusion 113 on the neck. By expanding the pressing of the closure cap, the capture ridge 125 is housed under the capture projection 113 on the neck.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the small mascara bottle is opened, the wand holder 170 and the wand 132 are at the lowest axial position relative to the cap. This is because the spring 160 pushes the wand holder and wand away from the push button. The lower end 142a of the seal is located farthest from the upper end 142b in the axial direction, and the space 180 has an axial height h1. The dome portion 143 of the seal is raised in a dome shape to a small extent.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the closing cap 120 is closed, the cap 120, the push button 150, and the applicator 130 are all moved by being guided toward the container. Prior to the closure cap entering its closed position, the lower end 175a of the tubular sleeve 175 abuts against the flange 116 of the wiping member, thereby further moving the tubular sleeve 175, wand holder and applicator axially relative to the container. You won't get. The spring 160 secured to the sleeve 175 is compressed, thereby allowing the movement of the closure cap toward the axial container to be expanded. As a result, the lower end 142a of the seal leaning on the groove 133 in the wand is in a position fixed in the axial direction with respect to the cap. The cap 120 continues to move axially toward the container until it is hooked on the neck of the container. Since the tubular support 175 that holds the upper end 142b of the seal is fixed to the cap, this end 142b of the seal moves axially relative to the wand by being directed toward the lower end 142a. In the closed position, the axial height of the space 180 is reduced so that the seal 142 is compressed in the axial direction, the height h2 of the space 180 in this position is smaller than h1, and the axial height is, for example, 1.5 mm. And only the distance between 5mm. The dome portion 143 of the seal further protrudes in a dome shape so that the contour of the dome portion hits the periphery of the inner surface of the wiping member 115 in the radial direction.

  The container 110 is then closed by a wand placed inside the wiper and by a seal 142 ensuring that this closure between the wand and the wiper is sealed.
